    • RE: Help testing new legacy image

      Hey @zsoltmd ,

      It working great!
      My experience is the same as in the old official ubuntu release with better looking scopes 🙂
      also for some reason it seems much faster...

      The only issues I noticed are :

      • The HERE Location Service is missing so it doesn't know where I am when i'm inside a building.
      • Telegram notifications seems to be hit and miss.
      • Some scopes are missing (Favourite Contacts, Holidays, etc...)

    • RE: Want To Develop UT And Need A Device

      Hey 🙂 , What would be great is if they had Fairphone 2 as there's 2 issues in the camera that i can't investigate without it.
      Barring that if you guys can spare and it's possible i would be happy to have any device with USB OTG display as i'm in the middle of adding convergence to the clock ( and the camera after that) and it would better to actually use a converged device instead of emulating it on the desktop.

      Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

    • RE: PinePhone

      If this would help anyone i made a small script to decrease the power draw of the pinephone until it would be adjusted in th main repo....

      #!/bin/bash
      
      loadAVG=$(cat /proc/loadavg  | awk '{print $1}')
      threshold=1
      highthreshold=3
      status=$( echo "$loadAVG > $threshold" | bc )
      highstatus=$( echo "$loadAVG > $highthreshold" | bc )
      
      echo $status
      
      if [ $status -gt 0 ]; then
              if [ $highstatus -gt 0 ]; then
                      echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
              else
                      echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
              fi
      else 
              echo "powersave" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
      fi
      

      I've placed it in crontab at adjust the governor every minute not ideal but it does help alittle...

      (you do have to install 'bc' for it to work : sudo apt install bc)

    • RE: What is your main points for a perfect personal phone operative system?

      All your points ( Convergence, Open Source, Developer friendly, Security ) Plus :

      • Easy to develop integration to, It would be nice if the phone can be used to bridge several devices/sources together (i.e. Moving file between computers, Cast music from ownCloud to chromecast , etc.. (ContentHub 2.0 😛 ) )
      • Tunable , Control how much the phone limit the CPU usage to save battery , Change the theme of the UI, which notification are important and which are not , etc..

    • RE: Today scope without showing day scope

      @Gerd It seems that its under GPL v3 it least by the license that was selected in launchpad... I asked the day-scope-team if it's possible to fork it to ubports i`ll update this thread if he replys.

    • RE: Swap space reduced?

      Maybe we can add a swap creation tool to the UT- Tweaks app. this way the user can choose.
      Also this way the user can also use the SD card as swap it will be slower but will solve the degradation issue (Which BTW on the current 1 days (none-) statistics i have 🙂 seems to be kinda ok, will probably loose 1GiB of storage after 5 years on normal use as the average write operation is 0.68/s ).

    • RE: Swap space reduced?

      @dobey i understand the reason behind it but also a little puzzled as in this regard isnt 32mb is as bad as 1 gib? as the only thing we care about here is write operations (iops) and not the size stored on disk ( i'm sure that there will be some reduction with 32 mb as there will be less apps running in perellal but still... )

      We can also reduce the swappiness tobhave a more prenunce effect with a limited swap size

      In any case i've added zswap to my pinephone with 1GiB of swap abd reduced swappiness , i'll try and use it as a 'daily driver' ( as much as the pinephone can be... 😉) and report disk usage statistics in a few days.

    • RE: Swap space reduced?

      Hey,
      Sorry for resurrecting a dead discussion, but its seems tobbe an issue for me too.

      What pazzles is does the size of the swap matter? I mean when the system run out of memory it will start swapping an writing to disk does it matter if its for a 32mb file or 1gib? I would think that the vm.swappiness kernel argument (which on the pinephone is on 60 ) will be more usefull here. Am i missing something?

      BTW i'm askin this as im trying to improve pinephone performence and swapping and memory seems to be the biggest simple solution.
